Kronenbourg 1664

Brewed by Kronenbourg (Carlsberg)
Style: Pale Lager
Strasbourg, France

wow this is bad. smells a bit skunky and sharp. pale gold, small head. reminds me of coors light. i couldn’t finish it.

Medium gold clear under a medium size medium lasting white head and thin lace curtains. Faintly skunky (green bottle and right on the edge of its use by date - 11/02 does not help) and stale hops aroma. Medium thin watery body. Medium malty and lighter stale bitter and chemical flavours. 9V battery on tongue aftertaste.

Pale bronze hue came with a quickly dissipating foamy white head. The aroma is fairly bland, mostly wheat and cereal grain along with bottled applesauce and the faintest hint of woodsy hops. Sweet malt and corn flavour initially, surprisingly acidic and sharp middle, flowing into a grainy, peppery finish. Medium to light bodied, reasonably firm texture, explosive carbonation. Other than the applesauce and acidity, I don’t suppose there’s much technically wrong here, but there’s nothing to cause excitement. Labeled at 5.5% abv. 50cl can, Leffe goblet, bbe 08/2008.

Draught, at L’autre oeil; eye : pale yellow, light effervescence, white head that leaves a ring around the glass; nose : sugary water (maple), 7-UP; mouth : light malt, finale of sugary water and fluorine, thin, light, no carbonation, lightly bitter, quite sweet; overall: I remember now why I have not any since my trip to Europe back in 1989 FRANÇAIS En fût, bue à L’autre œil; oeil : jaune pâle, légère effervescence, petite mousse blanche qui laisse un anneau autour du verre; nez : eau sucrée (d’érable), 7-UP; bouche : léger malt, finale d’eau sucrée et fluor, mince, léger, pas de carbonatation, légèrement amère, très sucrée; en résumé : je me rappelle maintenant pourquoi j’en avais pas bu depuis mon voyage en Europe en 1989

Had low expectations of this and was pleasantly surprised. No complexity but it’s a decent session lager. Poured a gold colour with a big head. Some buttery malt on the nose, and zesty hops. Creamy palate, light and quenching with a negligible finish. Buttery malt, minimal bitterness. (Bottle)

Looks like bud with a better head. Weak aroma, weak taste, good lacing. I can’t taste anything..east drinking, better than bud but yes, it is weak and borings.

Maltier than many draught lagers sold in UK but still watery, headless and unexciting. Quenches thirst but so does plain water...

bottle. golden with clarity. thin foamy head. light grain, rice and a little funk in aroma. mild. sweet malts and grain. simple and clean.
